Hi,

do you know if I can choose my own second name in SL, instead of choosing from the list provided by SL? Do you know the costs associated?

It's only available to businesses and in special circumstances.

"That's because the company has decided, CNET News.com has learned, to charge individuals who want a real last name a $100 setup fee and a $50-a-year maintenance fee. Companies that want their corporate name can have unlimited accounts for a $1,000 setup fee and $500 a year."

I dont have the link atm, but I saw in a thread awhile back that you can get
your own last name but that it will cost you.

Possibly as much as a corporation pays, not sure if that has changed or not.

You may be able to clarify this in the knowledge base.

Is that article correct in implying that if you are an individual and want a custom last name, it has to be your RL last name?
